Thanks, this is insane. You basically dismantle the whole laptop, unlike changing a keyboard in another popular brand.

Was hoping it was an easily accessible keyboard, and all I had to do was clean a contact for the bad key. Your video saved me a lot of time. . .I'm definitely not interested in getting into that train wreck! Thank you for sharing!!

WOW what a job! Congratulations and thank you for help

you are legend

If you put 5570 in title you will get more views.. and helpful for 5570 owner

Nice job!

Just finished replacing a keyboard on one of these, took me many hours and a burnt finger :) Instead of melting the plastic rivets I chipped away at their heads with an exacto knife and, most importantly, saved the plastic bits! I tried to slowly cut into them instead of ripping them off because they would then break at a lower height. I also marked the places where I cut a rivet with a sharpie so I don't miss any when putting things back. When time came to fix the new keyboard in place, I placed bits of the cut plastic on top of the rivet and melted them together with the tops of the rivets with the soldering iron. You may try other plastics you have around but I found that not all plastics will "fuse" together with the one that the laptop is made from, that's why I kept the cut rivet bits. Other plastics I tried, with varying degrees of sucess: zip ties, wall plugs, clear packaging plastic.

At this point i would just change the entire uppercase its not worth the hassle sure the whole uppercase costs more but its worth it, my inspiron has a broken space, ctrl key and a sticky W key

thank you.. I worried how to change my keyboard by myself cause is different from old models

ty bro

Great video, thanks! What happened between 12:45 and 12:46? Did you hotglue the metal plate onto the keyboard? It seems to just show up. :-)

Thanks for the video, I have a 5567, pretty similar keyboard setup, The technician I gave to replace my keyboard has fucked up the spacebar, and it practically doesnt work, something went bad with its placement. Could you suggest/advise me how I should go about soldering the keyboard myself, I didnt see you applying any soldering material/flux, how does that work?

Hey temperature settings did you have your soldering iron set at? I'm versed in doing circuits but have no clue where I should dial things in for this project to avoid ruining the plastic nubs for the keyboard. Thanks for posting this video! WTF on this keyboard design DELL??

I just wanna ask r u putting a new keyboard

where did you order the keyboard from

I've a Dell 5770 with similar moulded keyboard, so the same instructions apply. My left arrow key has stopped working - I think there might be dirt/food under it, but I'm not sure I want the hassle of having to do all that just to take it out to look at it. Maybe if I eventually decide to replace it. I'm now wondering if it's possible to prise off a key without breaking it, clean underneath, then put it back on. Any idea ?

So for the metal plate backing after you do the keyboard… you used hot glue to replace the other molding that was there?

Great job, I'm currently having the same problem with my keyboard, can you give me the name and model number of the replacement. Regards

What is the name of the blue device? I sent my laptop to Dell to repair, and they returned it without any modification. Need to do it on my own.

better to get an external keyboard.... Shame on Dell.

Cause mine already spoild I guess

ı wanna sleeepp

The sound is sleepy
